At restaurants
What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill
Worked example
On a BAM50.00 bill, 10% is BAM5.00, so you would hand over BAM55.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about BAM20.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Free walking tours in Sarajevo and Mostar run on tips, and the guides often lived the history they are telling.
